Welcome to JohnHoltgrew.com!

Hey everyone. If you've been following my blog or checking in on my
Twitter account then you know I've been training for the last three
months for the half marathon in Lincoln this Sunday. It starts at
7am(yikes) and hopefully won't take me more than two-two and a half
hours or so to finish. I finished my last training run yesterday which
was eight miles and... Interesting. So who knows what the day will
bring. I'm looking forward to it though. I've lost almost 30 pounds
over the course of training for it. I've gone from running 2 miles at
a time to not sneezing at a nine mile run. I've learned a lot and had
a good time so it will hopefully lead to me being more active and
possibly more half marathons.

Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me. If you are in the area,
check me out as I slowly run through the course. And for anyone
waiting on the new site design, be patient! I've been doing a lot of
research on the best format and designs to go with. I'm taking my time
and making a custom cms template. Most likely wordpress. It will be
worth it. Have a good one!
